From growing up in a Catholic household in Islington to appearing on British television screens in 'Birds of a Feather', Linda Robson's life has been a rollercoaster. Sharing her ups and downs on 'Loose Women', Linda has offered her audiences a glimpse into her life, but how did she become the beloved television figure we see today? Linda's memoir recounts the twists and turns of her journey into the spotlight and five decades spent acting on television, her relationships on and off screen, as well as the struggles she's faced. It will take you from laughter to tears as you discover how she became the Linda Robson we love today.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING HILARIOUS AND HEARTFELT MEMOIR FROM LINDA ROBSON
__________
Linda Robson's nickname is Baggy Mouth for good reason.
She may be one of the nation's favourite TV personalities - whether playing Tracey Stubbs in Birds of a Feather or being a regular on Loose Women - but she can't help hilariously oversharing. Luckily, this is an ideal trait for her first-ever memoir . . .
Taking us back to the very beginning, growing up in a North London council house, Linda explains how she came to attend theatre school aged nine, where she met Pauline Quirke.
As their friendship blossomed and evolved into a professional partnership, small parts in theatre and film productions culminated in the pair being cast in the enduring and beloved sitcom Birds of a Feather.
With a wicked glint in her eye, Linda recounts the twists and turns of an actor's life, sharing tales of backstage antics, on-set stories and demanding co-stars from across her her varied and celebrated career.
However, it has not all been laughter, and she candidly talks about the struggles she's faced in her personal life and the battles she has had to overcome. Yet her determination to pull herself back from the brink shows us that the tough times really do make us stronger.
Truth Be Told is funny, warm and loose-lipped about a remarkable life well-lived.
